iOS 26 iMessage Group Chat Duplication Issues Once I updated to iOS 26, my iMessage has not been working properly. A group chat I’ve had for YEARS with so many memories and photos is now not working and potentially getting deleted. Immediately after the update, the group chat split into two different chats. We can send one message in one chat, on my iPad, it goes to a second chat. One person in the group sees it in the original chat on their end, another person in the group sees the same message in a completely different chat. I now can't respond to the chat on my MacBook or iPad but I can on my iPhone. It's just all types of confusion. And my friends are also having iMessage authentication issues. Is there any fix to this? Or will an update be pushed very soon to fix this?

Cannot message people not in my friends list from Facebook message link iPad mini 4 When I click on a persons profile, then click message in Facebook, it opens messenger without showing the person I am trying to message, no chat screen, a blank page on the right and my contacts on the left. This is happening on my wife’s iPad mini 4 as well that I just updated the iOS to the latest version. I have not updated mine yet. I have checked to make sure messenger and fb are running the latest versions. It works on my android Note 10 plus and on my wife’s iPhone 8, just not on either iPad mini v4????
